Interesting things about LinkedIn

I heard Reid Hoffman, CEO of LinkedIn speak at a recent conference. He told us some interesting tidbits about the popular business networking site.

* 1 person joins Linkedin every second

* 1 million new members every 17 days

* 41 million total users

* Job tenure is on the decline

* "Your network = your R&D, your marketing, your sales team"

* Linkedin profiles are more accurate than resumes - "people dont lie as much in public" Reid says

* their new company buzz app will search twitter streams, company profiles will be "search engine friendly soon"
